"---" indicates that no data was submitted for this field

Part 1

The local living wage (based on a family of four and expressed as an hourly wage):

20.42 US/Canadian $

Percentage of all employees (regular full-time, regular part-time, and temporary workers) that receive a living wage (benefits excluded):

75.60

Part 2

Does the institution have employees of contractors that work on-site as part of regular and ongoing campus operations?:

Percentage of employees of contractors that work on-site as part of regular and ongoing campus operations that the institution has verified as receiving a living wage (benefits excluded) (0-100; enter ‘0’ if unknown):

---

Part 3

The total compensation provided to the institution’s lowest paid regular (i.e., permanent) employee or pay grade meets or exceeds what percentage of the living wage?:

None of the above (i.e. the lowest paid regular employee or pay grade earns less than the living wage)

A brief description of the minimum total compensation provided to the institution’s lowest paid employee or pay grade, including any in-kind benefits included as part of the total compensation figure :

All are benefits-eligible, and all meet the criteria for single adults. Not everyone has a family of four, so I'm not sure why that's the "living wage" metric. All employees receive a 403B retirement plan, a general healthcare plan, financial security from medical indebtedness, income security plan, dental and vision plans, group basic and voluntary life insurance, and flexible spending accounts.

Optional Fields

Has the institution made a formal commitment to pay a living wage?:

A copy or brief description of the institution’s written policy stating its commitment to a living wage:

100% of employees earn at or above the minimum wage.

Has the institution made a formal commitment to provide a living wage to its student employees and/or graduate teaching/research assistants (e.g. by adopting a student bill-of-rights)?:

Yes

A brief description of the institution’s commitment to a student living wage:

100% of students are full-time undergraduate students, 99% are full-time residents living in on-site dormitories. Students can work part-time (max: 20 hr/week) and are paid the Illinois state minimum wage (currently $11/hr).
